| - i shared the chef's tasting menu at union with my fiancé and it was sooo good but SOO filling, oh em gee.
the little crispy duck thing they start you off with is supposed to be a "bite" but it is really a whole crepe (and quite yummy). then we had the beef carpaccio flat bread- yummy, but i thought the crispy cracker it was served on was a bit too heavy for the carpaccio. by the second course of roasted tomato soup with little grilled cheese strips (filled with bacon, goat cheese, and tomatoes), i was already full.
annnd THEN there was the main course, which was like some sort of opulent medieval banquet, featuring a gigantic porterhouse steak and a huge, whole lobster (it stared at us throughout the meal) filled with buttery stuffing, accompanied by cups of rich sauces and two massive side dishes of smooth, creamy mashed potatoes and smoky macaroni and cheese. holy crap, that was a lot of food.
the little assorted desserts were very cute, but i only gave them each a courtesy nibble because i was far too full from all of the savory dishes to eat any more.
